Yeah, the last one was fully expendable (the first one of those since 2015). This one is a landing on the drone ship OCISLY, but it's one of those "coming in hot" landings where fuel could be an issue if conditions aren't in their favor.
From my perspective, a successful launch is a huge win. A successful launch and landing is a game changer.
